Redrock is one of several restaurants overlooking Lake Hefner, the picturesque horizon dotted with summer sailboats. It stands above the rest because of the exquisitely relaxing experience, perfect for a romantic evening or a comforting Sunday brunch. Live music can often be found, and the fire is wonderful, particularly at night.

Jazmo'z Bourbon Street Cafe

Any of the restaurants along the beautiful Bricktown canal would be a good choice, of course, but a must-try is the New Orleans-style selection at Jazmo'z Bourbon Street Cafe. The patio area is covered, located right down along the canal, and you get a good view of both the passing water taxis and the horse-drawn carriages on Oklahoma Avenue above.
100 E. California, Oklahoma City, OK 73104
Cafe do Brasil

Talk about a fun spot and a great atmosphere. Sample the unique and terrific Brazilian specialties while you enjoy the live music, and then head to the deck of the upstairs Bossa Nova. Exotic drinks accompany a nice view of the surrounding Midtown area with the downtown skyline just in the distance.
440 NW 11th St., Suite 100, Oklahoma City, OK 73103
Guyutes
What a transformation Uptown NW 23rd has had in recent years. There are many wonderful restaurants with patios along the stretch - Cheever's and Pizza 23, just to name a few. For something a little bit different, head to the rooftop bar at Guyutes. It's a great, active space to enjoy the elevated street food.
730 NW 23rd St., Oklahoma City, OK 73103
Packard's New American Kitchen
Packard's New American Kitchen in Midtown has a large rooftop patio. The view is excellent, and the entire area can be reserved for a private party.
201 NW 10th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73103
Paseo Grill
Oklahoma City's Paseo Arts District is unique and has a great vibe. The patio area is quite relaxing at Paseo Grill and is the ideal spot to enjoy a drink or some of their very good food.
2909 Paseo, Unit A, Oklahoma City, OK 73103
